Which are the Magic Kingdom Resorts?

[MommySue]

Which Disney Resorts are the Magic Kingdom Resorts? My daughter wants to ride the monorail. My husband had this idea to have a meal at one of the resorts that the monorail stops at on the way to Magic Kingdom. I don't know what hotels/resorts those are? My husband was thinking of Chef Mickey (at Contemporary), 'Ohana (at Polynesian), or 1900 Park Fare (at Grand Floridian)? Are those hotels the "Magic Kingdom Resorts" that are along the monorail route? Thank you.

Yep, those are the ones. The resort monorail travels in a clockwise direction of:

TTC->Polynesian->Grand Floridian->MK->Contemporary->TTC

The express monorail stops only at MK and the TTC and runs counter clockwise.

that's a great idea, the restaurants are better than in the park generally, just be aware of monorail closures during the day...not so fun...I think between 11-7(?)

The closing of the monorail during the day is only for a period of time (end of March I think). The OP's signature says that their trip is in 6 months and the monorail should be running normally at that point.

OP - I would avoid Chef Mickey's unless you really want it for the characters. The food is pretty icky there in my experience and according to most reviews. 'Ohana is the best out of the three you have listed.

Yep, the work is scheduled to be done by the end of March. Won't be an issue for the OP.

According to Disney's website, the Magic Kingdom Resorts are:

Polynesian
Wilderness Lodge
Contemporary
Cabins at Fort Wilderness
Grand Floridian
Bay Lake Tower
Villas at GF
Villas at WL
Campsites at FW

So not all MK resorts are on the monorail route.

The only Monorail resorts are:
The Grand Floridian
The Grand Floridian Villas
The Contemporary
Bay Lake Tower at The Contemporary
and
The Polynesian
These are all on the Resort Monorail which you can catch at the TTC or the MK.
